1 Introduction
A low ohm resistance box designed for general laboratory work including platinum resistance
thermometry. The 1041 is compact and durable, housed in a robust metal case with
removable protective rubber cover. Excellent accuracy is achieved by using high stability
metal film resistors.
The 5-digit thumbwheel switch makes selecting and reading the resistance setting easy.
The 1041 incorporates colour coded digits: ohms - white, milliohms - yellow.
Special attention has been given to maximize the reliability of operation. A special multiple
gold contact switch arrangement ensures that a back-up contact is always available to take
over should a failure occur.
For connections the unit features safety terminals that are compatible with 4 mm shrouded
plugs, as well as standard plugs, bare wires, and spade terminals.
The 1041 comes fitted with an ergonomic rubber cover providing increased protection and
durability. It has a textured grip for comfortable handling, and side openings to place labels.
It is easy to remove if you prefer a stand-alone unit or to use the optional 9026 carry case.
